3 The District President s reprt was accepted with n discussin r questins. 9:00 Syndical Reprts 9:00 WELS Presidium President Mark Schreder Pres. Schreder greeting ur cnference with the wrds f Philippians 1, thanking us fr the partnership in the gspel that we share. Pres. Schreder ffered infrmatin regarding the upcming Synd Cnventin. The Cnventin theme and title f the lng range plan is Our Great Heritage. The essay, Our Great Heritage, will be presented by Prf. Jhn Brenner. We ll have the jy f declaring fellwship with the fllwing church bdies: East Asia Lutheran Synd; Suth Asian Lutheran Ev. Missin (SALEM); Lutheran Church f Ethipia. Special reprts: Review f the Ministry f Christian Giving; Translatin Liaisn Cmmittee; Cmpensatin Review Cmmittee (including a bible study) We lk frward t receiving greetings frm Ev. Lutheran Free Church f Germany (ELFK). The Financial Plan fr the next biennium will be presented. Jint Statement Regarding Terminatin f Fellwship. This dcument resulted frm ELS, WELS and CLC discussins. The dcument was apprved by the ELS last summer. The CICR is recmmending we adpt the dcument at this summer s cnventin. The CLC deferred it t their pastrs fr their review and study and will take it up again next summer. The pastral vacancy rate is at 6-8%. This is nt at a crisis pint until ver 10%. Yet, it des ffer the reminder t encurage and recruit fr ministry. Questin: Nw that the Synd debt is retired and the $1.6 millin is n lnger used fr debt repayment, sme f the $1.6 millin shuld be used t help with current student debt r prevent future debt. Since 2009, student debt is at $16.9 millin (Synd debt was at $22.4 millin at that time.) While the CMO remains flat and the budgeted supprt als remains flat, graduates average $20,000 in debt. Answer: The $1.6 millin has been used in much the same way a husehld might use mrtgage mney. Once the mrtgage is paid ff, the extra ften gets diverted t ther needs as they arise. The $1.6 millin is nt just extra mney, but is still used t maintain current ministry, and allw fr limited expansin f ur ministry. Check ut the unfunded sectins f the fiscal plan. We want t wrk n increased funding fr ur schls. MLC is als wrking n finding ways t help with tuitin csts. Questin: When a graduate is assigned, the cngregatin r schl ften sees a savings frm previus wrker wages due t less years f experience. Can cngregatins be encuraged t use that savings t help their new wrkers relieve their debt? Answer: That s a gd idea and we will add it t the Cnference f Presidents meeting agenda. 9:10 Syndical Cuncil Mr. Art Tessmann The reprt was presented by Mr. Tdd Pppe. The CMO remains flat, but WELS remains viable. The budget is balanced. Mr. Pppe prvided a review f the purpse and functin f the Financial Stabilizatin Fund. $1.7 millin annually is set aside fr capital prjects. 9:20 Cmpensatin Cmmittee Principal James Meller Mr. Meller referred us t page 100 in the BRaM. When it cmes t the cmpensatin f ur wrkers, he encuraged us t remember these three wrds: prayerfully, carefully and thughtfully.
4 The appendices t the reprt cntain a Bible study t be used when setting a wrker s cmpensatin. After summarizing the philsphy and cmpnents f the cmpensatin plan, Mr. Meller intrduced the cmpensatin plan wrksheet. This wrksheet can be fund at wels.net. Remember, this is the last step, nt the first step in setting the wrker s salary. The cmpensatin cmmittee will be asking fr cnventin apprval f the guidelines and cmpnents. 9:30 Ministerial Educatin President Matthew Crass Pres. Crass began his reprt by recgnizing Prf. Rger Kbleske. He is retiring this year. He s als been ur cnventin and cnference crdinatr fr the past 22 years. We thanked him fr his years f service t ur district. Pres.

5 Pastr Bauer elabrated n the system used fr determining hw and which hymns wuld be cut. The gal fr this hymnal is t have a single set f lessns fr each Sunday.
